PNG is much better for screenshots since it does not alter colors and shapes like JPEG but it's also much bigger : my screenshot weights 1.6MB with Paint and 1.1MB when compressed with IrfanView, highest compression.

there's a new format called JPEG2000 which has support for lossless compression. it also compresses files MUCH MUCH better than PNG. an average screenshot with advanced doo-hickeys is about 900KB while with PNG you get 1.5-2MB. it's kinda sad that it's not widely supported though.

Using IE here.

@pS- I really like the color scale on your desk.

@prankst3r, your desk is also really nice. Simple and 'quiet'. Aren't you using an alternate shell ?

Nice, i not really into wallpapaers these days as they do take resources. Not much but it is something i can use.

I have one of a nice lighting storm, i can't find it for the moment. Let me hunt it down.

None of you come close to Zxian's desktop setup.
